Irate younger men would approach semi-regularly, especially after evening prayers, eyes burning, and tell us that George Bush is a dog. Yemen was severely punished by George Sr. for holding the position that Arab nations should not intervene in the business between Iraq and Kuwait during the first Gulf War and even more severely punished by Kuwait and her neighbors as thousands of working Yemenis were expelled without warning.

After spending a few years growing up in a major surf community any of us would have replied “ya bro totes agree, fuck all of the George Bushes”.

Most people in the surf and skate scene are definitely not into Right wing shitheads, yet somehow after Trump most of what used to be that surf community is MAGA AF, it’s sad and super shitty, but most of the surfers seem to have disappeared after Kelly Slater grew up and left the area to become the most well known surfer in the world, but the years catching waves with him and the others will always be cherished memories.

The same thing happened to Huntington Beach California. It used to be a chill little surf town. It was even called Surf City. Now it’s an over-commercialized conservative area full of trumpers and skinheads. I don’t understand how an area can change so drastically within a couple of decades.

Have the views on immigration changed so much in America as it has in Europe in the last 10 year or so? Because it could be that.

Also wealth moving to the beach and buying up houses.

I’m not sure how they’ve changed in Europe. I know France, and a couple other places are sick of the mass Muslim immigration. Is that what you’re talking about? Here in the USA it seems pretty polarized, just like everything else. 99% of the people I know don’t care about immigration at all, but I don’t really know any conservatives, and there are conservatives that think immigration is the source of every problem in the country. Well… I guess they think half the problems are from immigration, and the other half from Obama and Biden. HB definitely wasn’t conservative when I lived there, but it sure is now. It’s probably from the gentrification, like you said.

It’s sad and these Nazi conservative assholes always seem to take over anything that initially rejects them, but it’s also not like poorer folks can afford to live in places like Huntington or Cocoa Beach, so instead they’re replaced by rich NIMBY conservative assholes.
